I’ve been practicing Pilates for over 20 years and instructing for 10. I’ve taught in Boston Body studios in the Boston area including Belmont, Newton, and Concord.

Now, living in Southern Rhode Island, my focus is on private client session. My in home studio is small but with a big studio vibe. Here you will get the highest level of training and attention to your body’s requirements.

Pilates education: Comprehensive certification in all Pilates equipment at all levels - Reformer, Tower/Cadillac, Chair, Barrels, Mat and Anatomy - through Balanced Body and IMX. Also trained in the Classical Pilates technique.  Additional training includes Pilates for neurological conditions, Pilates for post PT, pre and post natal, pre and post surgery, spinal conditions, and active aging.

I was in various leadership positions in the corporate world prior to training and becoming an instructor.

Pilates is for everyone. That is what Joe Pilates believed.

  • "Every week Ruth helps me work on my limitations to improve my posture and mobility. We've made real progress on both counts in the months since I was discharged from the hospital. Ruth who claims no training in physical therapy is knowledgeable in anatomy and muscular development and has the unique ability to encourage me to exercise in ways that are not painful or harmful but help me to regain more mobility." Jack M.

  • "I have been working with Ruth for about a month and she is excellent! She is caring and very informed and helps me have the best workout, taking into consideration issues with my back and shoulders."
